@ATT You're doing it very, very wrong.

After a flood of criticism, AT&T issued a douche-pology. The company is sorry if you were offended.
We apologize to anyone who felt our post was in poor taste. The image was solely meant to pay respect to those affected by the 9/11 tragedy.

It’s quite a day for hole-digging non-apology apologies.
@ATT this is what we call a ‘fauxpology’

Is anyone buying the explanation?
@ATT uhh if that was what it was "solely meant to" do then why is there a phone in it. like. come on.

.@ATT It's even worse to lie about the reasoning behind it. It was not "Solely" meant to do anything but promote yourself tastelessly.

.@ATT No, the post was intended to show that you sell phones.

Buh-bye, customers.
@ATT yep I feel a switch is on the horizon. #earlytermination #insulting
